Falkor Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 John - Splash Blanchey - Wheaten? Effey - Mottled Deardre - Pic is a little small but I would say lemon. You can also get Lemon Cuckoos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickyhazel Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I agree with Falkor - splash, wheaten, mottled and lemon cuckoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mollie333 Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 Here, here. Let me explain. I saw john and edward as eggs in the incubator, the owner said we can have them at 10 weeks, so we waited and waited. then we finally got them.. They both looked identical, (picture of john below), we did not know the sex, but we was looky that there both hens and both lay eggs now! this is john at 10 weeks x Thanks guys.

squidsin Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Ha ha, love the John and Edward thing! I've no idea on official chicken colours so would go for 'random mash-up' for all of them, but they are soooooo pretty! I particularly love the 80s two-tone one.

Plum Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Blanchy is a really unusual mix of colours. Don't know what she is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollie333 Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 What i was thinking.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Blanchy doesnt look wheaten to me, she is quite pink she looks red or salmon (depending on what your take is of these colours - opinions vary widely!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 whatever colour she is I think Blanchey is totally gorgeous, I would love her :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom123 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Mmm, Blanche isn't a true colour I don't think. Looks like a salmon cross possibly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollie333 Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 Really unsure. She was sold to us as a 'RARE COLOUR' lol, don't worry, i like unique-ness (is that a word ?) Hahaa. More pictures of Banche, shes a pekin, she is beautiful.. Does anyone elts have unique chicken colours? post your pictures She is quite small.. My two hybrids are in the picture below, she still gives them the odd peck.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mullethunter Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Resurrecting a VERY old post rather than starting a new one. This is Polly - she’s an araucana bantam that I hatched from a bought egg - does anyone know what her colour would be described as? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Closest I could find is this: white lemon quail http://www.kippenencyclopedie.nl/php/index.php?title=Witcitroenkwartel Although your little hen is more silver than the lemon there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 She looks like a very pale Lavender, almost like Isabel colouring 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullethunter Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Thanks Lewis that makes sense as I’ve just read that you can get Isabel when Lavender dilutes Wheaten, and I know the flock the egg came from had Wheaten in and actually when she was a chick that’s what colour I thought she’d end up.

Luvachicken Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Very pretty girl 😊 I had one called Polly - she squawked like a parrot - I hope yours is a lot quieter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
